Rest In Peace Brother. I morn your loss, and I can’t understand why so many of our finest, those who shouldn’t be taken from us, are cut down in the prime of their life, leaving family, friends, and loved ones behind. Why do the criminals always get to carry on, while you and so many of our other brothers and sisters make the ultimate sacrifice? Rest easy knowing that your killer has been caught, and will hopefully be locked away never to see the light of day again. Watch over us from heaven, and take pride knowing that you served your country with honor and dignity. We have the watch.

Brother your heroism will never be forgotten and you will never be forgotten by all your brothers and sisters in the badge. As you look around you now know that all your new partners in Gods kingdom are also heroic and honorable brothers and sisters from law enforcement. Know that those you left behind will care for your family and will keep your lessons of service and leadership will stand as shining examples to those coming in the future. Rest in peace brother. In Christ.

All of my thoughts go out to your family. You were almost the same age as my son when he was killed last year.
Look to everyone around you to help you get thru this horrible ordeal. I know Corporal Roberts is watching over you and your child from another dimension but he will always be with you.
Only the good die young.
